\nSteve Jobs, 56 years old,(1955-2011) lay to rest today and will be missed by many, as quoted by Apple.com “Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being.

Death always makes you realize what is really important in life, i hope when i take my last breath that i will leave behind a great legacy like Steve Jobs has left behind for the world. At the end of the day, i want my family to benefit the most from all that i do. <\/p>\n

I hope i leave behind a legacy of love, hope and peace. anyone that looks back on my life will see that this was true. <\/p>\n

Here are some famous quotes from Steve Jobs. <\/p>\n

\u0093My job is not to be easy on people. My jobs is to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better.\u0094 \u0096 All About Steve Jobs<\/p>\n

\u0093We made the buttons on the screen look so good you\u0092ll want to lick them.\u0094 \u0096 Wikiquote, as quoted in Fortune magazine (4 January 2000)<\/p>\n

\u0093Click. Boom. Amazing!\u0094 \u0096 Macworld keynote 2006<\/p>\n

\u0093You can\u0092t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they\u0092ll want something new.\u0094 \u0096 Inc. Magazine<\/p>\n

\u0093That\u0092s not what we think design is. It\u0092s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works\u0094 \u0096 New York Times, The Guts of a New Machine, 2003<\/p>\n

\u0093Why join the navy if you can be a pirate?\u0094 – As quoted or paraphrased in Young Guns: The Fearless Entrepreneur\u0092s Guide to Chasing Your Dreams and Breaking Out on Your Own (2009) by Robert Tuchman<\/p>\n

\u0093Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.\u0094 \u0096 via<\/p>\n

\u0093I mean, some people say, \u0091Oh, God, if [Jobs] got run over by a bus, Apple would be in trouble.\u0092 And, you know, I think it wouldn\u0092t be a party, but there are really capable people at Apple. My job is to make the whole executive team good enough to be successors, so that\u0092s what I try to do.\u0094 \u0096 CNNMoney<\/p>\n

\u0093It\u0092s not about pop culture, and it\u0092s not about fooling people, and it\u0092s not about convincing people that they want something they don\u0092t. We figure out what we want. And I think we\u0092re pretty good at having the right discipline to think through whether a lot of other people are going to want it, too. That\u0092s what we get paid to do.\u0094 \u0096 CNNMoney<\/p>\n

\u0093So when a good idea comes, you know, part of my job is to move it around, just see what different people think, get people talking about it, argue with people about it, get ideas moving among that group of 100 people, get different people together to explore different aspects of it quietly, and, you know \u0096 just explore things.\u0094 \u0096 CNNMoney<\/p>\n

\u0093When I hire somebody really senior, competence is the ante. They have to be really smart. But the real issue for me is, Are they going to fall in love with Apple? Because if they fall in love with Apple, everything else will take care of itself.
\nThey\u0092ll want to do what\u0092s best for Apple, not what\u0092s best for them, what\u0092s best for Steve, or anybody else.\u0094 \u0096 via<\/p>\n

\u0093We don\u0092t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we\u0092ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it.\u0094 \u0096 Fortune<\/p>\n

\u0093Almost everything\u0096all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure\u0096these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.\u0094 \u0096 Steve Jobs\u0092 Stanford Commencement Address<\/p>\n

\u0093Here\u0092s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes\u0085 the ones who see things differently \u0097 they\u0092re not fond of rules\u0085 You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can\u0092t do is ignore them because they change things\u0085 they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.\u0094 \u0096 Think Different, narrated by Steve Jobs<\/p>\n

\u0093In most people\u0092s vocabularies, design means veneer. It\u0092s interior decorating. It\u0092s the fabric of the curtains of the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.\u0094 \u0096 Fortune<\/p>\n

\u0093So we went to Atari and said, \u0091Hey, we\u0092ve got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we\u0092ll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we\u0092ll come work for you.\u0092 And they said, \u0091No.\u0092 So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, \u0091Hey, we don\u0092t need you. You haven\u0092t got through college yet.\u0094 \u0096 Classic Gaming<\/p>\n

\u0093The people who are doing the work are the moving force behind the Macintosh. My job is to create a space for them, to clear out the rest of the organization and keep it at bay.\u0094 \u0096 Macworld<\/p>\n

\u0093Your time is limited, so don\u0092t waste it living someone else\u0092s life. Don\u0092t be trapped by dogma \u0096 which is living with the results of other people\u0092s thinking. Don\u0092t let the noise of other\u0092s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.\u0094 – Steve Jobs\u0092 Stanford Commencement Address<\/p>\n

\u0093I\u0092m the only person I know that\u0092s lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year\u0085. It\u0092s very character-building.\u0094 \u0096 Wikiquote, as quoted in Apple Confidential 2.0: The Definitive History of the World\u0092s Most Colorful Company (2004) by Owen W. Linzmayer<\/p>\n

\u0093I\u0092m as proud of what we don\u0092t do as I am of what we do.\u0094 \u0096 Businessweek<\/p>\n

\u0093Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.\u0094 \u0096 Businessweek<\/p>\n

\u0093I\u0092ve always wanted to own and control the primary technology in everything we do.\u0094 \u0096 The Seed of Apple\u0092s Innovation<\/p>\n

\u0093It comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don\u0092t get on the wrong track or try to do too much.\u0094 – The Seed of Apple\u0092s Innovation<\/p>\n

\u0093It\u0092s really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don\u0092t know what they want until you show it to them.\u0094 \u0096 Businessweek, 1998<\/p>\n

\u0093Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It\u0092s not about money. It\u0092s about the people you have, how you\u0092re led, and how much you get it.\u0094 – Fortune, Nov. 9, 1998<\/p>\n

\u0093I\u0092m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.\u0094<\/p>\n

\u0093It\u0092s rare that you see an artist in his 30s or 40s able to really contribute something amazing.\u0094 \u0096 Playboy interview, 1985<\/p>\n

\u0093I feel like somebody just punched me in the stomach and knocked all my wind out. I\u0092m only 30 years old and I want to have a chance to continue creating things. I know I\u0092ve got at least one more great computer in me. And Apple is not going to give me a chance to do that.\u0094 \u0096 Playboy, 1987<\/p>\n

\u0093I didn\u0092t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.\u0094 – Steve Jobs\u0092 Stanford Commencement Address<\/p>\n

\u0093Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?\u0094 \u0096 Steve Jobs\u0092 famous question to John Sculley, former Apple CEO<\/p>\n

\u0093The products suck! There\u0092s no sex in them anymore!\u0094 \u0096 Businessweek<\/p>\n

\u0093The cure for Apple is not cost-cutting. The cure for Apple is to innovate its way out of its current predicament.\u0094 – As quoted in Apple Confidential 2.0: The Definitive History of the World\u0092s Most Colorful Company (2004) by Owen W. Linzmayer<\/p>\n

\u0093If I were running Apple, I would milk the Macintosh for all it\u0092s worth \u0097 and get busy on the next great thing. The PC wars are over. Done. Microsoft won a long time ago.\u0094 \u0096 Fortune, 1996<\/p>\n

\u0093You know, I\u0092ve got a plan that could rescue Apple. I can\u0092t say any more than that it\u0092s the perfect product and the perfect strategy for Apple. But nobody there will listen to me.\u0094 \u0096 Fortune, 1995<\/p>\n

\u0093Apple has some tremendous assets, but I believe without some attention, the company could, could, could \u0097 I\u0092m searching for the right word \u0097 could, could die.\u0094 \u0096 TIME, 1997<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
